What do you think of this build for my Motion Graphics University course:


Intel Core i7 4930K
32 gb ram
Nvidia GTX 770
700 W PSU
Asus p9x79,
Corsair H80i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler


Budget will be over 2 thousand pounds. I only want a fast PC that can withstand a lot when working with multiple compositions not to mention rendering.

Is this I7 CPU fast enough for me? Im not forking out pointless money buying an XEON, i'm only 17 years old, 18 in June.

That should be fine. i7's are comparable to Xeon's.

I would go with 16gb ram and use money towards a better gpu like an R9 290.

Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Graphic Card - 1000 Mhz Core - 4 Gb Gddr5 is better? But wouldn't CUDA benefit me more than this? Well if you say so, i'll use this Gpu then.

GPU boss is a horrible tool to compare graphics cards. CUDA might be better, depending on software used.
